Artwork approval system that remembers every round.
yeses is an artwork approval system where every round is numbered, so an old approval never quietly becomes a claim about new artwork.
- Free plan, no time limit
- No credit card
- Reviewers don't need an account
“This is approved.” Approved on which one?
Artwork goes through rounds, and approvals do not survive them. By v4 the file name has a date in it, the approval lives in a thread about v2, and the only person who knows whether the current version was ever signed off is the one who has been holding it in their head.
How it works
Online artwork approval, round by round.
- 01
Upload the artwork
Images up to 25 MB and PDFs up to 50 MB, as many as the piece needs.
- 02
Set who approves
Brand, product, the client. In order, or all at once within a stage.
- 03
Collect the markup
Comments land on the artwork itself, pinned to the spot they refer to.
- 04
Version and repeat
New round, new number, and the old approvals stay attached to the old art.
Features
Online artwork proofing that keeps its history.
Rounds are the hard part. Everything here exists to make sure round four still knows what happened in round one.
Markup
Notes land on the artwork, at the spot they mean.
A reviewer clicks the part of the artwork they are talking about and types there. Replies thread underneath, and a comment made in round one stays in round one rather than following the file forward and confusing everybody. Online image proofing works this way on any JPEG or PNG, and a PDF takes the same pins page by page, so page two of a brochure carries its own notes.
The record
Who approved it, and exactly when.
Approvals and change requests are stored against a person, a time and a version, and nothing in that record can be edited or deleted afterwards. Artwork proofing software that lets the log be rewritten is not keeping a record, it is keeping a note.
Follow-ups
Rounds stop stalling silently.
Reviewers are reminded every two business days, up to three times, then yeses stops and flags the round as stuck. A round that has quietly gone nowhere for a week announces itself instead of being discovered. Artwork approval workflow software that reminds forever is not being diligent, it is nagging your client on your behalf.
Scope
Digital artwork, not press-ready proofs.
Worth being direct about, because “artwork approval” means two different jobs and this tool only does one of them.
yeses is artwork approval software built for work reviewed on screen and approved by people: images to 25 MB and PDFs to 50 MB, staged sign-off, markup, and version history. There is no preflight, no color management, no separations, no die-line checking and no soft proofing against a press profile.
If you are producing packaging or sending files to a printer, you want a production proofing tool and probably already have one. If your problem is getting five people to agree on the artwork before it ever reaches that stage, that is the part this does. The artwork approval process here ends at sign-off, not at the press.
Questions
Artwork approval, answered.
Do reviewers need a yeses account?
No. Each reviewer gets their own link and approves straight from it. No sign-up, no password. The link is what identifies them, so the decision is still recorded against a specific person.
Is this for print and packaging artwork?
Yes for the approval round, no for the press proof. yeses handles artwork reviewed on screen and approved by named people, with the version history kept. There is no preflight, no color management, no separations and no press-ready checks, so the production proof needs a specialist tool you probably already have. Getting five people to agree on the artwork before it reaches that stage is the part this does.
What happens to approvals when the artwork changes?
Each round is numbered and freezes the files it covered. An approval given on v1 stays attached to v1 and is shown as stale once v2 lands, so an old yes never quietly transfers to artwork nobody has seen.
Can reviewers mark up the artwork itself?
Yes. Anyone in the review clicks a point on the artwork and leaves a comment there, with replies threaded underneath. PDFs work the same way, page by page, so a note on page two of a brochure stays on page two.
Can I see every round a piece of artwork went through?
Yes. The history holds every version, every comment and every decision in the order they happened, including which files each round covered. Nothing is deleted when a new round starts.
How long do our review rounds actually spend waiting?
Longer than most teams guess, and the waiting is the part nobody plans for — the days between sending the work out and the last person replying. Put your own numbers in and see it per project. Try the revision cost calculator.
What does it cost?
There is a free plan, and it runs a whole review from start to finish: one project at a time, unlimited reviewers, the full decision record. Paid plans start at $63 a month billed annually, or $79 monthly, and buy volume rather than the basics. Every account opens with a 30-day trial of Business, takes no card, and never turns into a payment by itself. See the plans.
Keep the approval attached to the artwork.
Numbered rounds, markup on the file, and a record of who signed off on which version.
